It was an October morning when we decided to travel to the glorious land of Hangu, so that we could attend a family wedding. This presented an exciting prospect, so I proceeded to pack my clothes and books for reading, a week before our trip. It was my first visit to Hangu, my homeland since I returned from Saudi Arabia, that's why I was too excited. Hangu is a relatively small but extremely picturesque town in Khyber located in the Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Hangu Valley The Bangash tribe are the main inhabitants of the Hangu valley along with a considerable number of Orakzai and Afridi. The main language is Pashto, spoken natively by 98.8% of the population. It is famous for its greenery, hills, beauty and water. The valley is perfectly situated between two branches of the Koh-e-Sufaid mountains and offers breathtaking views. Hangu City is located 2900 feet above sea level. Say no to plagiarism.

I got up very early that day because I was very excited and the arduous driving job also fell on me. We started our journey at 6:00 am. The sun's rays began to spread across the earth making it look like a landscape flooded with sunlight. It was such a pleasant experience as the birds were chirping, the air was clear and we could see the dew droplets glittering on the trees and grass. We made two stops on our trip for gas, lunch, etc. It took us 5 hours to reach Hangu. The scenery along the way was also worth seeing and we even made a few stops to enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was spoiled only by flocks of chickens and herds of goats and buffaloes roaming everywhere. Green mustard plants with their yellow flowers were on both sides of the roads, adding to the charm of the land. There was greenery all around, green trees, green hills and green fields covering the land. I took many photos and enjoyed the moment. A soft, cold breeze was blowing, giving the sensation of floating in paradise. The dust and noise of the city seemed distant and a distant memory. Everyone welcomed us wholeheartedly when we arrived there. My aunt (Phuppi) lives there, we stayed at her house. We had lunch and rested a bit. In the evening we prepared for a family event. Every person in the family and the neighbors gathered around. The men's and women's gathering was organized separately. There was a musical event called Dholki. The event was punctuated by singing, chatting and fun. And it went on continuously until late at night. The next morning, I was surprised to see that there was a long queue outside the bathroom and unfortunately when I woke up late, as usual, I was the last in the queue and it took half an hour for my shift. As a result, I arrived late. After having breakfast, we got ready for the wedding ceremony which was held in Peshawar, another city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It took us 3 hours to get there. After attending that function, we returned to Hangu and had a delicious dinner, which included mutton and their famous Seekh Kabab, one of the most traditional and hearty dishes in the area. The next morning, my father told us about the places worth visiting in Hangu. He told us that snowfall is a common feature in winters. He mentioned the mountains of Hangu: Wara Samana, Kata Kani, Pora Ghar, Shalmaz Pir, Lakay Ghar and the most beautiful villages like Saidan Banda and Samana. These places are a paradise for.
